Stangeriaceae Schimp. & Schenk 1880
plant family in the order cycadales
The Zamiaceae are a family of cycads that are superficially palm or fern-like. They are divided into two subfamilies with eight genera and about 150 species in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Australia and North and South America. The Zamiaceae, sometimes known as zamiads, are perennial, evergreen, and dioecious. They have subterranean to tall and erect, usually unbranched, cylindrical stems, and stems clad with persistent leaf bases (in Australian genera). Their leaves are simply pinnate, spirally arranged, and interspersed with cataphylls. The leaflets are sometimes
Asyneuma (Harebell) Griseb. & Schenk 1852
plant genus in the campanulaceae family
Asyneuma is a genus of flowering plants in the bellflower family, Campanulaceae. They are native to North Africa and Eurasia. Many are endemic to Turkey. Plants of the genus may be known commonly as harebells, but this name can also apply to the entire family. There are up to about 33 species. Characters used to identify Asyneuma species include a generally wheel-shaped (rotate) corolla with the petals fused at the bases and spreading outward into very narrow lobes, lacking or rudimentary appendages on the calyx, a stigma with 2 to 4 lobes, and an oblong or roughly spherical fruit capsule

Sternbergia schubertii Schenk 1840
plant species in the amaryllidaceae family
Sternbergia schubertii is a diminutive autumn-flowering bulb that was described in 1840 from near Torbalı in western Turkey, then vanished from the botanical record for more than 150 years. A targeted survey in 1998 located a second, and so far only other, population about 300 km to the south-west in the Lycian section of the western Taurus Mountains, where the species grows on stony, east-facing limestone slopes at 180–300 m amid open scrub of Euphorbia, Cyclamen and scattered Olea europaea and Pinus brutia. The rediscovery confirms that S. schubertii is a narrow Turkish endemic and casts

Salvia transsylvanica (Transylvanian Sage) (Schur ex Griseb. & Schenk) Schur 1853
perennial plant species in the lamiaceae family
